"Presented for the first time in the meeting of the Committee on Budgets of 25 January 2010, the Maňka report is characterised by three critical points, which are responsible for my decision to abstain from the vote.
Firstly, the sudden and belated discovery, in respect of the signing of the 2010 budget in December 2009, that the 20% limit for expenditure under ‘heading 5’ had been exceeded. The agreement to shift the problem from December to January, the desire not to publicise the budgetary burden of the Treaty of Lisbon, and the hasty manner in which the issue was raised, without any scope to demand, where necessary, more efficient use of the resources currently available, have led to a real distortion of the facts.
Secondly, I disagree with the decision to use the reserves earmarked for buildings policy to cover the new need for liquidity. This is a controversial issue that must be addressed in the coming months, once we are sure that we can count on having the necessary financial resources.
Lastly, I believe that the sum of EUR 1 500 as a monthly allocation for Members’ assistants seems inadequate, since the minimum threshold for the appointment of a new level I-accredited assistant is EUR 1 649."@en1
